and when you look at almost all of the presidents, they find official business to do along with their campaigning. but this one does not pass the straight-face test. you know it and i know it. so it's time for the obama campaign to pony up and reimburse the treasury. >> mr. speaker, hthe white hous issued a veto on the security act yesterday. >> my belief is the government ought to control the internet, government ought to set standards and government ought to take care of everything that's needed for cybersecurity. they are in a camp all by themselves because whether it's private industry, whether it's other parts of the government, understand that we can't have the government in charge of our internet. and that the bills that we're moving this week are common-sense steps that will allow people to communicate with each other, to work together, to build the walls that are necessary in order to prevent cyber terrorism from occurring. there are more steps that are going to have to be taken beyond these. but this is a fundamentally different approach than what the white house and some wa

he was in germany on official business and shortly after general wheeler returned to the united states, he suffered a heart attack. then he was in walter reed. the only two chiefs who were asked about this dismissed it in crude terms and wheeler himself later told the president that there had never been such a meeting. that is about as far as i can go with that controversial story. as secretary brown alluded to, we associate this period with mcnamara and vietnam. mcnamara's involvement in a series of other crisis foreign and domestic is remarkable. we have heard about the dominican republic and mideast war and the pueblo and demonstrations in the streets of the united states. any one of the crisis could have defined a presidency. for example, if we look at president jimmy carter's administration, it involved notable successes. it is best remembered for the iranian hostage issue. when the iranians took over the american embassy in tehran and held hostage. americans for more than a year. think about mcnamara. in january 1968 the north korean seized the naval vessel on the high seas and t

tonight's truth draws the line between official business and partisan politics. >>> up first this evening, though, new terror concerns as we approach the first anniversary of the daring raid that led to the death of osama bin laden. there is no credible information suggesting al qaeda or its allies are planning attacks tied to the anniversary. but the concerns are real enough that president obama reviewed the threat picture just this morning with this top national security advisers. our pentagon correspondent chris lawrence is here with the details. what is the biggest threat intel officials are most worried about. >> they are very concerned right now about a renewed effort to target western aviation. in fact, the fbi, homeland security, and the u.s. military's northern command sent this memo out to law enforcement agencies across the country. basically alerting them to the possibility of this threat. specifically, they think the biggest threat is coming from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. that is the most active al qaeda group. it's also the group that has tried to attack to u.s.-bou

the white house says it was official business, and so the government, not the obama campaign, paid for it. today, the house speaker called them out and said this particular trip was a political stunt. today, the house speaker's words were unusually sharp and personal. >> frankly, i think this is beneath the dignity of the white house. >> speaker john boehner lashed out at the president, accusing him of campaigning on the taxpayers' dime. >> it's time for the obama campaign to pony up and reimburse the treasury. >> this boiled over after the president visited colleges in three battle ground states. this week, the issue, student loan interest rates. the current rate of 3.4% will nearly double in july unless congress passes an extension. >> congress needs to act right now to prevent interest rates on federal student loans from shooting up and shaking you down. >> while every sitting president takes heat over whether his travel is legitimate policy or pure politics, today was different. boehner claims the president is, quote, inventing an issue aimed at young voters. the speaker claims bot

airforce want flies whether a it is official business or campaign is at the cost of $180,000 per hour. you have a lot of money and that adds up. the incumbent is supposed to pay the company backed. the taxpayer still foots most of the bill. >> this has been every president has sought reelection. >> absolutely. all the presidents have been criticized for this, not just president obama. >> tara mergener, thank you. >> 52 degrees on tv hill. looking for a summer vacation deal? >> a teenager said as her prom was ruined because of her dress. being excessive rise right now as we get ready for the vip shopping at harborg >> good morning. this is a live view from the skycam. 55 degrees. we're starting with some rain showers. i am live in harbor east today. this is one of the stores that will be participating in the vip shop crawl. what are you dressed in? layers.s all about the playe >> the top is by jessica heart. there is a bracelet and day rap. the bag is the newest leather line. >> handbags in the city is also participating. you start at 6:00 p.m. it is a complementary event. there'll be

a lot of the business there are state-controlled, so officials at the businesses could be considered foreign officials under the fcpa, but there are investigations of tech companies, silicon valley is getting a look, hp is under investigation, so i'm sure that they are aware of the law and that doj is looking at their competitors. >> and with that story, you just underscore the chamber's argument about defining what a foreign official is, who falls under that category, but how do you so do that with so many changes in cull hurt from country to country? >> it is difficult. the hold-up is a piece of, perhaps, ambiguous language in the statute that says that a foreign official or instrumentality of a foreign government. and the instrumentality of the phrase is the hold-up. what the chamber wants, for example, is certainly in some of the countries when a company takes control, the government is truly controlling it and foreign officials there should be considered foreign officials. but what the chamber wants is, well, what percentage owner ship of the company is required? do they have to

we made the determination of this saturday the sidewalk sale will not create an official of the end as part of small business week, -- an official event of small business we felt we will support. there were merchant corridors of have come to utilize this as an opportunity to promote corridors and so wanted to be able to have it, so there is no reason to not have our office to facilitate the waiver for merchant corridors, so for those who want to do this, we are facilitating this waiver as we always have through the same process of the board of supervisors, and we will just listen to the neighborhoods having an organized neighborhood merchant corridor promotional even stay, and we will let them tell us how they are going to market and promote to their neighborhood, so we will let them with it. this is something we do every single year for the city. the department cannot just unilaterally choose to waive fees. they need to get approval to do so, and that is why this is before you, similar to what supervisor chiu did with the awnings. any time we waive the fee, it has to be approved during good -- in has to be

so recent trips to college rallies were taxpayer funded official business.hairman of the rnc is demanding taxpayers be reimbursed. top elected republican in the country agrees. >> frankly, this beneath the dignity of the white house. to make it a political issue is pathetic. >> to counter obama youth appeal, they dropped a video to suggest a cool president has not helped college find jobs. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> it notes five college graduates can't find work. four out of five are moving home with their parents. >> they call it distraction of the real issue that is the economy. in their words, they're not stupid. meaning republicans will do everything they can to prevent democrats from changing the subject off of jobs. >> bret: more with the panel. thank you. the 36-year career of the indiana senior senator could come to a dramatic end in may. steve brown reports on old guard against the new kid on the block. >> dick luger says this week he is on the job. >> i have been here for every roll call vote so indiana's voice was heard. and heard loudly. that will continue to be

those trips were official business and the gop is trying to play games here. the "associated press" reports the democrats have already reimbursed $1.5 million for president obama's political travel. that's more than $1.3 million the republican party paid for the entire 2004 bush re-election campaign. how about that speaker? any comment there? >>> tomorrow, the house will vote on a gop bill for interest rates on student loans. it will be paid for by gutting health care. how clever they are. boehner wants to raid a preventive care fund something he calls a slush fund. house democratic leader nancy pelosi is calling boehner out on it. >> it may be a slush fund to him but survival to women. that just goes to show you what a luxury the thinks it is to have good health. >> she is absolutely right. the fund helps provide immunization, birth defect treatments and cancer screenings. the gop already took a chunk of it by demanding offsets for the payroll tax cut. now, leader pelosi is telling her caucus to vote against the gop bill and their attack on health care. lots

whoever is in the white house combines official business with things that are somewhat related to thepaign. so i do think boehner is a hypocrite for making a complaint about this. the real issue is what's happening with the student loan bill. you do have some house republicans saying we're happy to support this bill. that is if you take money away from the obama care provisions that fund health care for women. so we're getting right back to the same sort of fight and boehner doesn't want that. he is making the issue about wheels up. what the republicans want to do to policy. >> it remarkable that mr. boehner finds so many words to ache the president for his use of air force one. when it come to bombeding to a question about federal funding, sorry, funding of the federal government, this is how he responds. listen to this. >> bla bla bla bla bla. all right? so? yes. >> incredible, isn't it? >> yeah. the over articulateness of the leader is remarkable. t.s. elliott is in the grave. the reality is this is all the republicans say is when the speaker is bla bla bla. the bad news of the abi

or make it look like it's official business. they are so obvious about it. have an effect, at least having an effect on me people think really? again you are going to do this? we have seen it both in sort of the way they're taking the trips and also the kind of campaign events set up around the trips or at the white house. you have the sessions, women in the economy thing, which, you know, speaks to a particular part of the base he needs to fire up. now you've got the youth, you know, the youth rallies all week. remember, one of the central tenets of the occupy wall street movement to the extent it had central tenets was college debt forgiveness. this is speaking to that group. going around, like in the santa claus phase of the obama presidency. he is giving gifts to all of the people he wants to vote for him. >> i think among young people there are probably backfire potentially. what was appealing about obama he seemed to be different. he was the unpolitician, new leader. post political. he said post partisan, but to see him doing this stuff, ordinary garde

accusing him of misusing taxpayer funds by campaigning on trips the administration has labeled official business. mitt romney is trying to convince a couple of his republican opponents to endorse him now that they're out of the race. ron brownstein joins me now from washington to talk about the latest twists and turns in the campaign. hi, ron. >> hey, alison. >> president obama has been doing lots of traveling in the united states. the gop chairman accused the president's administration for using taxpayer funds to campaign. is this kind of just that general sign that the general election fight is off and running to the races? >> you know, the fact is, the president did make a series of appearances here on college campuses that happened to be in swing states. in support of his view on holding down the interest rate on student loans. i think the republican complaint is something we often hear in a race with an incumbent president. i would say it seems to have gotten the administration's attention because they have as you pointed out had the rallies next weekend that are officially launching the ca
